Friday was the deadline for Roane County Property Assessor David Morgan to make corrective actions on the 2015 reappraisal.

Whether he’s done enough to satisfy the state remains to be seen.

“We will have staff in place to monitor the progress reported, and we would expect it will be later [this] week before any conclusions are made with regard to the status of the ongoing reappraisal program,” said John Dunn, spokesman for the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury.

State Sen. Ken Yager and state Rep. Kent Calfee filed a bill in the General Assembly last week that could impact Tiger Haven, a sanctuary for big cats in East Roane County.

According to the General Assembly’s website, the bill was filed for introduction on Feb. 12.

“As introduced, requires cages at facilities for holding Class I wildlife be constructed and maintained to provide sufficient space for each animal to have adequate freedom of movement,” the summary of the bill states.

Triangle-cut chicken salad sandwiches, mini quiche, chocolate-covered strawberries, mini brownies and warm tea was the spread for Harriman High School girls during a trial run of an afternoon tea earlier this month.

“We want to teach all girls to be respected in today’s society,” said Gail Becker of the tea, an effort of Potter’s House Fellowship and Proverbs 31 Finishing School.

Roane County Property Assessor David Morgan was the victim of an alleged hit-and-run last week.

According to Kingston police, Morgan was headed north on Third Street in a Toyota on Feb. 10 when a Mazda minivan driven by Ethan Alexander Wilson left the south lane of travel and collided head on into the vehicle driven by Morgan.

The crash report said Morgan, 45, was not injured.

Wilson allegedly fled the scene. Kingston Police Officer Nathan Wilson said he made contact with him at 215 E. Race St.

Roane County Director of Schools Gary Aytes was one of the 114 superintendents to sign a letter asking the Tennessee General Assembly to not mess with the state’s academic standards during this legislative session.

“We’ve changed standards several times in the last few years,” Aytes said. “We have high standards now that amps up the rigor for all of our students.”

The names of the superintendents who signed the letter were listed in a press release the Tennessee Organization of School Superintendents put out last week.
